What was embarrassing about Friends? Did it remind you too much of your own twentysomething exploits in a New York apartment you could somehow afford to live in despite working in areas of employment which would, in the real world, not pay you enough to live on?
That pretty much sums it up. Actually, I think it was also the gushing Americaness of it all. Parts ot it were OK, but then there was Kudrow and Aniston.
To put it in terms you'll understand, BBT is funnier than Terry and June but not as good as The Two Ronnies.
That bad? Oi
:(
